I love QR codes.
I really really do.
In our business they are the perfect marriage between online and offline marketing. A business comes to us and we print a QR code on that piece of paper that sends the consumer via their smartphone to a landing page we created for them.
QR codes link those 2 worlds together giving a business maximum exposure to grow their business. The value and effectiveness of both types of products by the way, just increased.
Perfect.
But now they’ve gone too far. QR codes are being engraved on headstones linking I guess 3 worlds together – real life, cyber life and now, afterlife. Folks literally can use their smartphone at the grave site and go directly to a memorial page online celebrating the life of the loved one.
Not sure we are getting into that business. But um, if you have any stone carving experience, give me a ring and we’ll talk. 🙂
Till next time,
Grow The Business.

Reminds me of that Twilight Zone or Outer Limits where the old man is talking to his dead wife on the phone and at the end of the show the camera pans to a graveyard where a snapped phone line is hanging down onto his wife’s grave. I will definitely have to ponder this one before developing any kind of opinion. Who would you call for a broken link?
